Post your 3 Cent Nickles

With such low mintages for the 1884 and 1885 it brings a tear to my eye seeing the holes in both. I wonder how many of the 1700 that were minted in 1884 and the 1000 in 1885 survived?

I'm embarrassed that I messed up the spelling in the thread title. At least it doesn't say "Post your 3 Cent Pickles".

 

Oddly enough, after your comment it was the first time I had noticed the clash on the reverse of mine... Thanks for the clue...

 

Sorry about the typo - 'woth' = worth

 

This is on the way from a member here....Purchased it from CBD .
Not that I needed another 1865 nickel 3 cent piece...but I love the fact it is a ddo, clashed,die breaks,retained cud,and Rev. rotation is about 10 degrees!
What else could a variety collector ask for? An Rpm or mpd perhaps

From time to time you do find a coin that has multiple varities ,but few that have as much as this one does. So this became a had to have specimen.

 

I wish that I didn't start this thread. I'm just too jealous of your coins. Your last post is fantastic! I hope that I can find a few even close to yours.

 

I'm still trying to find out what caused the appearance of a pillar between the second and third roman numeral on the reverse.

 

Well it's definitely a clash ...but of what is a good question. It looks like part of the Roman numeral....except for the base... trying to visualize what other coin or die it could of clashed with....maybe once in hand I will be able to determine more.

 

Let us know what you think it is when you look at it in hand. Pretty interesting coin to say the least.

 

Just looked at an over lay even tried to adjust for rotation...maybe a fresh pair of eyes or someone to recognise the clash .

@Fred Weinberg

Maybe Fred can give us some insight on this specimen.

 

Well maybe I shouldn't post this but....have a look at the leaf on the cud! Now that's the icing on the cake....a retained cud with a device transfer.

 

@Fred Weinberg
Can you give us any more information on this?
Is it as I described above,or just another clash on the cud ?

 

I believe that would be a retained cud. But not to far from being a full blown one.

There are some really neat 3C Nickels posted here.
